As I saw a topic started for the Mt. Wellington ride on Sunday, I thought I"d start an official one for the PMM Real Estate Cycle Challenge as well.By now everyone knows of the clash, nice to be spoilt for choice - just not on the same day would be good.

Hi InverS. Welcome to the dark side!! Its a slippery slope after the first one.

My simple and only tip for the ride is to stay at the back or towards the back of the bunch for the ride over the bridge. As with most rides that aren't races there is a fair bit of nervous energy going on amongst the "contenders" so staying out of their way makes the ride much more enjoyable.

Apart from that - smile, wave and enjoy - are the secrets that most forget.

Forget the "clash mentality". Almost every weekend active people are offered a choice of triathlon, running, STCC, CA racing in the north, and various other concoctions of events. Pick one and go for it.If you need to have a concern, have a look around the shopping centres and spare a thought for 50% of the population so burdened by girth that they are incapable of participation in any of the "clashes".
